Choosing the Right Nail Gauge for the Job

16 gauge nails are thicker and suit first fix structural work such as framing and stud walls, where holding strength matters most. 18 gauge nails are finer and suit second fix trim and finishing work such as skirting and architrave, where a smaller nail head leaves a neater finish that's easier to fill.
